On the first night of the conference, Grosick was recognized during a general session for becoming a new CTR. She was later recognized by her colleagues at CHAMPS’ booth, and Spoden presented her with a new CTR pin.

By attending the National Cancer Registrars Association Conference, CHAMPS was able to engage with more than 1,000 attendees and share with them the opportunities available for a rewarding and challenging career in the cancer registry.

“This year’s conference was a great experience for us,” Spoden said. “I was very impressed with many of the CTRs I had the pleasure of speaking with in our booth. I look forward to discussing the potential for them to join the CHAMPS Oncology team.”
